Quality Anime (Naruto sucks)


  1. Ghanjaspawn

Some people claim to like anime, but always confess to watching juvenile drivel like Naruto and Bleach and Shonen Jump crap. These people don't know high caliber action driven anime and are clueless, naive, tasteless posers or just have no taste and are stupid. What do I consider good anime? A few of my favs with a few eastern animation to boot.

One of the greatest anime of all time. A enchantingly wonderful tale with characters you want to know more about and a setting I can't get enough of. It's like Miyazaki turns dream worlds into animation.

Afro Samurai: Resurrection (2009,  Unrated)
Afro Samurai: Resurrection
Fast, stylish, damn near perfection. If you liked the series, you'll like this. If you liked Ninja Scroll, you'll love this. If you like anime at all, you owe it to yourself to see this.

The animation is heads above. The Rza's music works perfectly. The voice work is superb. And a story that feels very fresh, blending traditional samurai sword play with death dealing robots amalgamating in a unique way that never makes you ask why.

And all this comes together in a style and fashion that blends old with new, urban western with traditional eastern, and slick with sick.

Stunning, nothing short of amazing. Pure eye candy. The plot got a little confusing for some, but I'm used to complex anime like this.

Invader Zim (2004,  Unrated)
Invader Zim
Wild and imaginative and lots of fun. Jhonen Vasquez has a unique style that stands out miles above most cartoons on these days. But a stark contrast to Vasquez's earlier work with Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. That is to be expected as it was aired on Nickolodeon, but it's Z still has legs enough to stand next to NNY.

    I know people are gonna hack me on the FF:Spirits Within, but from an artistic standpoint, it was top of the line CG animation. Plot. . .eh, well, it really didn't have much to do with FF, but it was decent enough, and it's still better than Naruto.
